You know... I just had a thought. If Fox believes in Firefly so much (which I'm beginning to doubt they do), perhaps they'll try it out on a different night. Schedules can be shuffled, and shows with built-in audiences will survive better in the Friday night slot.

That's what I hope they'll do....if it's still big on TIVO wich I'm pretty sure it is maybe they'll understand that they have an audiance but it's just not around at that time and they'll try it elsewhere

just to throw a little hope into the mix...

i totally expected buffy to be cancelled after its first season. i was in the process of mourning its loss when i found out it had been renewed, and now look where it's gone! it's a huge success

so you never know

The only night Fox would likely try it on instead of Friday is Thursday. I'm not sure that would be an improvement.

well at least people are not out on thursday sure it won't beat Friends/Scrubs or CSI in rating but who says that most people who watche that show are watching these show anyway....

The problem is not that nobody watch it...hell it was the second most added show for a season pass out by the 1 000 000 TIVO viewer, and well we watch it and so other people do as well, but my guess is that the nielsen fammily that would be interested in that show are just not there on friday so we don't have the rating the show would have if they were there

Thanks to the Great Scourge Against All Broadcasting (baseball), all ratings until there's a break and they go into repeats will probably be split between at least two episdoes. I got last week's episode here, which was not shown here last week because of the Great Scourge. So, unless they skip one somewhere to catch up, people in some places like mine will be a week behind the "real" schedule.

I hate sports. There are entire channels dedicated to sports. Why can't they keep the sports on those channels and leave us alone?
